I want to run away from home. Should I?

I've definitely wanted to run away from home too. However, before you take any action, ask yourself the following questions: Is your home a danger to you? Do you have a plan in place to make sure you're taken care of? Do you have friends and other adults who can help support you? How are you going to get money to live off of? Lastly, if you're having difficulties at home, would it be a good idea to maybe talk to someone about what's going on? Another adult may be able to help you find the best solution that works for you.

Nope ! You will lose more than you will gain. Running away from any place or thing or person is just a bad idea, confront it, fight it and survive it but do not run away cowardly, separate with dignity and for that become independent enough.

No, you definetly shouldn't. First of all, you should know if it's worth it, and maybe you could tell someone, that might help!

Take a deep breath and step back -- analyze the situation. What has you so upset? Why do you want to leave home? What can you do to remedy the situation right now? Do you have any long-range plans for dealing with the issues?

No. That will only make the situation worse. Try to look at things from a different perspective as in, at else can you do to cope with your problems besides simply running away from them? Can you go live with a relative or a close, trustworthy friend who has a safe home? Can you get a job and save up money so you can start preparing to live on your own? Because once you're of a certain age, you are legally free to leave home and live wherever you like. These are some things you can think about.

Life might seem hard right now, but things will look up. If you are set on running away, try and think about where you would go and if it would be beneficial. would conditions worsen?

Before you make such a big decision, what are the pros and cons to running away? Would your life be better on the street or at home? Would you be safer? What about shelter? Food? There are so many more things to worry about, think it through before deciding anything.

Talk to your parents whenever they are free enough to spend sometime for you. But most importantly when you are willing to open up as they would have tons of questions to ask so you must be prepared to answer them peacefuly. If you don't like being interrogated, then tell them to just listen to you without being questioned before hand

You should not because just like inside out your parents might be worried sick for seeing you run away from certain reason or purposes they might think they have done something wrong to make you decide to take off.

its not a good idea, the problems you are facing wont go away as predicted you should talk to an adult

Usually the same problems we run away from are just waiting for us in another form elsewhere. I believe there's some sort of order in the universe, and barring anything really extreme the situation you've been presented with is likely something that it's good for you to learn to skillfully overcome.

"Running away" is never the answer, the issues and the problems most often follow. Depending on the situation you may need to leave home, but running generally is not the best idea.

Depends on your financial and educational state. If you are under deep pressure and able to find a place and money for you. Then I guess.

Ask yourself befor leaving what am I leaving behind if I do this and is it worth losing all that in the future to make a better change for myself or those around me. Running away without saying a word may lead into panic for most families especially if you're a young adult, so please choose wisely and I hope the best solution may come through. ☺

Sit down. Have a glass of water. Ask yourself,is it worth it? It's not going to change your situation. How long can you keep running away from your reality?

you should build a life first dear one :) I don't know how old are you , but it's the best idea if you study and work so you can save money and you can make a life for your own and be successful but running away without a plan will hurt you more than staying .

Put your safety first. If your home isn't a safe environment, call an adult who can and will help. Call the police if you're scared you or someone in the house could be injured. Don't wait. If you're having any kind of problem at home that makes you feel like leaving is better than staying, tell an adult you trust - a teacher, counselor, coach, friend's parents. Talk to someone here on 7Cups. Sometimes it takes another pair of eyes to see and understand problems that we're too emotional to deal with.

Running away from home, you can experience difficult issues such as financial difficulty, homelessness, exposure to outside dangers. Try to resolve issues at home but if there are greater issues at hand, there are places you can turn to for help, reach out to relatives that are close by, reach out to friends and also counsellers, school teachers and others. There are sometimes national run away switchboard phone services where you can speak to a professional about your situation and determine what is the best action.

No, calm and down and think about the people at home and how much they love you, we don't all show each other how we feel, don't make this decision now, think about it again ❤️

It depends on a lot of factors. First of all, you should be 18 or over first and have all of your documentation and some money. Secondly, does your situation at home something you should run from? Are you being abused? Are you in an environment with drugs or drinking? Thirdly, you need to find a safe place to go like a good friend, family member or shelter.

It really depends on your circumstances, If your household is in anyway mentally, physically or emotionally damaging you then that is certainly an option although there are much better options like reporting anything that is happening. If you'd want to discuss this further so I can help you get a better idea on the best option for you then please send me a message.

Running away from problems is not normally the answer. Please call a helpline who can help you if you are in trouble pr danger and need help.

I can try to understand your emotions and why you would want to run away from home. But your safety is important and also your necessities such as food, shelter and security is top priority. Try to talk with the persons you are living with and explain as calmly as you can about your concerns and your emotions towards what might be bothering you. In this way you can come to an agreement on helping yourself with the situation and also the persons can be aware on how to help you and what not to do or say to make you feel like you need to run away. I understand that sometimes life may be very challenging but if you can find a way to overcome your challenges you will definitely become a stronger person. To call one's self a fighter , one must experience battles. You will get through this challenge and you will feel very happy about yourself.

It's always best to not run away from you're problems. Instead of running away, try to face then head on.

Depending on why you are willing to do so , in case of violence and abuse call security hotlines and they will be able to help you out :)

No. You shouldn't. Unless bad things happen at home. But if that happens you should call the police. But you shouldn't run away from home if you have good people that loves and cares for you

Running away from home is never a good idea because it is not easy on your own especially if you have no money or support it may not seem it better you have it better at home then running away
